Great adventures in diving, RVing and travel
During Week 4 of our West Coast/Rocky Mountain RV trip, we crossed Idaho and entered Montana, delighting in the mountains and trees of I-90. Our night in Missoula gave us a chance to find a good barbecue place, and the Notorious P.I.G. fit the bill (though no ribs were available …
Wandering in Puget Sound, Washington The long bridge over the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington After a few delightful days on the Oregon Coast, we continued our West Coast/Rocky Mountain RV trip by crossing the Columbia River in Astoria, Oregon, and heading west to Cape Disappointment State Park in …
Though we loved seeing family and friends in the Bay Area and Sonoma County, we were not sorry to leave the heat and head north into the redwoods to begin the second week of our summer RV trip. Parenthetically, the drive through California on the 101 (mostly freeway and sometimes …
Well, it wasn’t our smartest move to leave 73-degrees Marina del Rey to drive to 113-degrees Paso Robles at the start of our 7-week RV trip through the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountain states. We survived and enjoyed our first week with lots of visits, great food, and wine …

After spending six months enjoying our near-the-beach condo, we wanted to get out on the road again, but we weren’t too keen on traveling far from home just yet. Only partially vaccinated from COVID-19 when we set out, we nevertheless decided that it would be pretty easy to protect ourselves …
After our exploration of Grand Teton National Park, we headed to another of our happy places, Yellowstone National Park, also in Northwest Wyoming. For us, it’s all about the critters, so this fifth trip to Yellowstone was a delight for us. Hank had to drive our motorhome over the Continental …
Like most everyone else, we stayed home through the spring and early summer of 2020, cancelling previously-scheduled trips due to COVID-19. But by August, we felt we had to go somewhere, so we hopped in the motorhome with our two kitties and headed to Grand Teton National Park (GTNP). Because …
This is Part 2 of our trip to Tanzania in 2018. Part 1 was all about our African safari—truly one of the best experiences of our lives (here’s our post). But we weren’t done with our adventures yet, and this post is all about scuba diving in the Indian Ocean! …
